Whistler, Canada - 365 Days to Play
Whistler, British Columbia, has one of the most desirable and breathtaking locations in Canada and has been annually voted one of the favourite ski destinations in North America, not to mention being co-host to the hugely successful 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. Whistler and Blackcomb mountains are a haven for skiers and snowboarders. Experience the Peak 2 Peak Gondola, spanning both mountains and making over 8,000 combined acres of skiable terrain even more accessible. From summer golf, hiking and zip-line tours to water sports and world-class mountain biking, the all-season adventures continue. Whether you venture out for skiing or simply to enjoy the charms of pedestrian-only Whistler Village, expect award-winning hospitality and service excellence when you come home to Pan Pacific Whistler Mountainside.
Four Seasons of Adventure
Whistler Blackcomb offers skiing and snowboarding for all ability levels, from tree skiing to wide-open cruising runs. Cross-country skiers can also find 130 kms of perfectly groomed trails to explore Whistler's winter wonderland. When the snow melts, golf enthusiasts take to the links, tackling four championship designer courses. Summer at our Whistler, British Columbia resort also brings the thrills of fishing, horseback riding, mountain biking and many water sports like canoeing, kayaking and wake-boarding.
Whistler Olympic Park
Surrounded by towering peaks, rushing waterfalls, glacial lakes and pristine forest, Whistler Olympic Park will take your breath away. Located 18 km south of Whistler in the stunning Callaghan Valley, Whistler Olympic Park is the first Olympic Nordic venue to include all three traditional Nordic sport stadiums in one site: cross-country, ski jumping and biathlon.
